    A nurse on a unit is assisting with the care of a group of clients. Which of the following observations by the nurse requires intervention?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. A nursing colleague printing material that does not obtain identifiable information from a client's electronic medical record (EMR) for professional use: Using de-identified information for education or research is acceptable and does not violate client confidentiality. B. A nursing colleague discussing a client's diagnosis with another staff member on the unit who is not involved in the client's care: Sharing protected health information (PHI) with staff not involved in the client’s care breaches HIPAA regulations and confidentiality standards. Immediate intervention is required to prevent unauthorized disclosure. C. A nursing colleague documenting vitals in the electronic medical record (EMR) of a client that the colleague is caring for: Documenting assessments and care for assigned clients is appropriate professional practice and supports accurate communication and continuity of care. D. A nursing colleague discussing a client's treatment plan with another nurse on the unit as part of the end-of-shift handoff report: Communicating relevant client information during handoff to nurses assuming care is appropriate and essential for safe practice. This does not require intervention.
